Damn Tarantino really dodged a bullet by Will Smith turning down the role. Movie would not have been half has good with him as Django.

I’m glad Jamie Foxx played Django and not Will Smith. Jamie Foxx was incredible and had great synergy with Christoph Waltz, they were a dynamic duo

Schultz's part in the movie was absolutely brilliant & was my favorite part about the whole thing. The way he helped Django throughout the movie & the way he almost looked up to him like a son was so heartwarming for me. I am so glad they wrote the character that way.

The story line is great, but the acting in this movie is just absolutely phenomenal.

I feel the success of the Django character was that he was a strong, silent type who only spoke when absolutely necessary. Will Smith in this role would not have been a good fit because I'm sure he would have wanted rewrites to give him more dialogue and humorous quips. Casting was perfect. Jamie nailed it.

I want nothing more than a 4 hour cut of this movie

Thank god Will Smith didn’t accept to play Django.

Christoph waltz is one of my favorite actors. I believe he is underrated as well. He has his own swag and it’s masculine and beautiful all together. He’s art.

Who else is pleasantly surprised that Will Smith didn’t get the role as Django. I don’t think anyone could have killed it as well as Jamie Foxx.

You missed an important one: Django’s outfits changed throughout the movie progressively to end in him in a burgundy coat, where he famously told Samuel Jackson’s character “Steven, how you like me, man? You know for a while, I didn’t know Burgundy was my color…”. The significance of that line is that Django was never allowed to pick his clothes so he didn’t know what matched with his complexion.. but going deeper, he was never allowed to make his own decisions and take charge of his life, so he didn’t know his true purpose. All the changes in outfits are symbolic of his search for his true self/identity and purpose. So when he told Steven he didn’t know burgundy was his color while Steven is wearing a white shirt, it’s a snub at Steven who is a black man for not knowing his color isn’t white.

As a masterful magician QT is I’m surprised he wanted Will to play Django. Will acts with a sort of goofy over confident humour that wouldn’t have worked. Jamie absolutely nailed the role, 10/10, unbeatable. And Kerry Washington - mind blowing performance. The entire cast put on the performance of a lifetime that had me in awe of the power of acting🤘

I’m convinced that is Tarantino’s favorite line because of Leo’s performance and sacrifice in that scene (the sacrifice being, him being able to hold character even when he truly shattered glass into his own hand when smashing the table)

Jamie Foxx is from my hometown in Terrell, Texas. He competed and worked professionally at rodeos. He holds some of the top rodeo titles and was inducted to the Texas Rodeo Hall of Fame in Ft. Worth.

I was told by a friend of Zoe's the reason for all the cuts and delays and walk offs in shooting was Leonardo DiCaprio was slaying improv so hard that Tarantino just wouldn't stop extending those shooting days. It is what is is. No denying something special happened in the DiCaprio Tarantino chemistry.

I still think its absolutely criminal that Leo didn't win an Oscar for this movie. He's much better here than in The Revenant.

That bit about Leo smashing the glass will always get me. As good an actor as he is, I don’t think the rage in Candie’s voice would nearly be as good as it was had that accident not happened.

How can you not mention Stephens subterfuge the entire movie. At the end he drops his cane, stands strait, and WALKS without issue showing he never needed the cane. It was always to subvert Calvin's objections to his idea, and you see this a tiny bit when Stephen calls Calvin in the kitchen to tell him about the true scheme, he drops the accent. Brilliant character. Go rewatch with this in mind. And just know Calvin writes the checks but Stephen calls the shots.

Give a Oscar to Samuel L Jackson. His scream of Calvin deserve it

I’m glad he says that the first Django-Stephen interaction is pure comedy, it is. I laughed so hard during that scene.

Leo NEVER fails...... I can understand why he had a problem saying racial slurs because that's not his true character but Quentin pushed him to the point of giving literally a POWERHOUSE performance and this rings true about naturally cool actors/actresses: they usually play villainous roles the best because their true nature is far from the character themselves. I'm sure Leo took a much needed mental and spiritual rest after the filming was done. Overall, BRILLIANT masterpiece!

My uncle was a grip on the set of Django and said that Tarantino and DiCaprio had countless arguments about not wanting to say slurs as written and it ruined whole days of shooting. Samuel L Jackson pulling DiCaprio aside and telling him to stop being a b*tch and to just do the scene was honestly such a bro move toward Tarantino.

I believe this movie is definitely underrated. It had the perfect music for the mood, great acting, over the top violence and it gave slavery a middle finger. What's not to love about this film?! This movie is definitely on my top 3 list.

Let's be real Di caprio and foxx along with the rest of the cast just was perfect they really brought this movie to life!!

I saw both Django and Inglorious btd on successive days on ott . I became a great fan of Christopher Waltz immediately His pronunciation is very good not to forget those probing eyes in Ing

Jamie Foxx, Leonardo DiCaprio and Christoph Waltz all bringing their A Game. That is the recipe for a great movie!

Kerry Washington is underrated gold. Devastatingly beautiful, talented woman.

Everything about this movie was amazing on another level..... even the soundtrack.....again; on another level.

DiCaprio delivered the most shocking performance of any actor in any movie I have ever seen. All of the stars in this movie were on top of their game.

I think Leonardo DiCaprio played the character really well in this movie, he played nasty really well, and he usually doesn't play nasty character. I think Leonardo DiCaprio deserved supporting actor Oscar for playing that character Calvin in this movie Django unchained.

There are actual photos of cowboys, First Nation folks and various people in the Western United States wearing sunglasses before this movie is set to take place and on into that era. They were actually invented in the 12th century by the Chinese and existed, they just weren't readily available but they were here.

these videos are great, Good job. the extra information over the story and characters is very informing.

That was extremely entertaining and very informative. Thanks. I could watch Django on a loop. It’s a fantastic movie and Tarantino is one of a kind. He’ll be missed.

One of my favorite movies of all time. Thought provoking, disturbing and victorious in the end. A true masterpiece.

You know I've watched this movie at least a half dozen times and never once realized that James Remar played both those roles.... wow.

That's crazy I loved the turtle shell table top lines 2. He said it with such a unique fullness. Definately a level of asmr in it.

Every actor in this masterpiece was at the top of their game, including QT. True artists creating priceless art. ♥️🔥♥️🔥♥️

31: Kerry Washington learned German in order to accurately act the scene where Schultz and broomhilda speak in german

I enjoy learning these extra details about the movie. It’s hard to watch some of the brutal scenes of slavery, however it’s important to show how wrong it was as well. I consider Django the main character, if Schulz was truly the main character then the movie would have ended much sooner. The story is Django’s story, he’s the one who ultimately triumphs in the end.

My absolute FAVORITE movie. That ending is just sooo incredibly badass!

Very very interesting analysis of the facts behind the movie. Thank you!

I worked as a set Grip on this movie, and I was sitting to Leo's left just out of the camera view when he did the scene at the dinner table. He just kept going, and his rage was real. We shot all of the interior Candy mansion shots on a sound stage in New Orleans.

The scene towards the end where Django is riding horseback through the Candy plantation wrecking havoc was actually Foxx and not a double. The horse trainers said that they were scared Foxx was going to die because his horse was moving incredibly fast. Definitely my favorite practical shot in the film.

Kurt Russell yes, this is such a good movie! The actors were brilliant. The story line, splendid! Quentin thank you & well done.

I love these interesting facts stuff it’s great ! Keep up the good work.

Django Unchained is so great. Its one of my all time favourite films.

Leo made Candy as amazing as he was. That was 50% Writing and 50% DiCaprio putting on a flawless performance

Inviting the original Django actor back is awesome

Great video!

Great video, you forgot one: Dartagnan, the name of Candy’s slave shares a name with the father that betrayed him in The Man in the Iron Mask. So the killing was probably considered poetic in a twisted way

I just watched Django Unchained about 2 months ago. I’ve since watched it 4 more time. Excellent movie.

“ he broke his pelvis, luckily it wasn’t too bad” LMFAO bro he broke a bone that hurts man 😂

There was 46 years between the Django movies and Franco Niro looks like he aged 5 years, absolutely crazy genetics. He was 70 in Django Unchained and I wouldn't flinch if someone said he was like 48.

Steven and Django's beef had me laughing every damn time they were on screen. This movie will never be replicated.

You can't just include Leo DiCaprio as just one of the other actors... he was huge reason why this movie is so great! Either way I appreciate the video

15:17 There was actually one scene in particular that I had that very thought about. I think it was the scene that lead up to Hildy being locked in that shack, right into the mask chick looking at that photo. Two different songs, damn near back to back did feel a little jarring. That's the only example I can think of though. Also, I'm super disappointed Tarantino won't be directing the Django/Zorro movie. It would probably be a masterpiece. I just hope it's good actually good, and does both characters the justice they deserve.

Thank you. Liked knowing about omitted scenes.

Nice. Thank you! Django is one of my favorite movies. I can't count how many time I've watched it and I enjoy like it's the first time, every time.

Thank God Jamie Fox got this role instead of Will Smith. But to be far, Will Smith’s point about wanting it to be a story of love more primarily than of vengeance is actually kind of an interesting one. I suppose it would’ve made things kinda boring if it had a lovey ending where somehow Calvin Candy and Steven learned a lesson. It would’ve been corny, unless somehow a brilliant ending that made it not that way was written by Tarantino, and frankly I don’t think he’s really capable of that either. Tarantino is not the right kind of guy for that, he works better with hate and ego than he can love and understanding, it’s who he is, but he is truly great at it and j love watching his stuff (usually lol). I guess it’s why he got along so well with Harvey Weinstein lol. But he does a good job of showing the nature of morally cynical and corrupt narcisstic men, probably because he is one to a greater extent than most are, but at least he channels it into cinema in a great way.

This movie did such a great job on everything it did. Some may say it was a little over the top, but you can’t be truly satisfied seeing justice done, until you first see the depths of evil that was done first.

The part about the hat maker is great

My favorite thing about this movie is that some of the violence might seem exaggerated, but the worst parts were completely period-correct

1 of my all time favs. Awesome to learn bout the original django. That scene was fire

This is my favorite movie because of how much I loved Christoph Waltz in this. Jamie Foxx and Leonardo were amazing too.

kerry washintong gave everything to her role! awesome commitment!

Yeah Leo definitely should won an Oscar here

I had no idea there was a Django Zorro movie in the works. This sounds so amazing! In any other studios hands I would be so scared of this but with Tarantino I’m so optimistic. I cannot wait!!!!

Mind blown!!!! so many references to other movies, he's a freakin genius.

19:20 sounds like when you and your boys are comming up with coll crossovers and elaborating on it. And I am a 100% for this!!!

Sunglasses have been around, in various forms, since prehistoric times; the sunglasses that reflected glare were first used in China during the 1100's. Mirrored frames have been around since the 1600's. Tinted lenses came in the 1700s. Sunglasses were worn by soldiers in the U.S. Civil War. The first UV sunglasses came in 1899. All before the 20th century. For a video on facts, you should have researched that one.

Enjoyed this video; definitely found out a lot of new info about one of my favorite movies of all time. I still think Leo should have been nominated for Best Supporting Actor or something or the like for his role because it was so different than anything he’s ever done.

The “turtle shell table top” is the peak of a truly wonderful preformence

one of the best movies of all time. Simply because they didnt hold anything back. They showed what real history was like.

Jamie Foxx and Johnny Depp for the Zorro Django film would be sick!

I am in the group that believes that Stephen was more vile than Calvin. 30 facts and you only 1 was focused on Samuel L.?

I love scenes like the tabletop glass breaking, it puts a real perspective and more raw emotion you can see it in candys lawyer when he looks at the crew to cut the scene but Leonardo finished it. Amazing movie but a terrable truth

Well done. Thank you.

I originally didn’t want to see this movie, I’m so glad went to see it I fully enjoyed this movie

Leonardo DiCaprio should of received an Oscar for his role.

Wow. Great job!

Videos like this reaffirm my belief that DJango was is one the best movies made. Plus that Future DJango talking to original DJango has me perplexed.

I've watched this movie 5 times since it was release. Love it!

I adore this movie, great film, character development, acting, casting, dialog, this movie doesn’t hold back anything and that’s why I like it! In fact now I want to rewatch it again.

Great montage of Django Unchained at 1:30 Tarantino looks like a Young Frankenstein.

"The D is silent." "I know." So badass

I love this movie so much for the simple reason that I almost never actually want the bad guy(s) to die in a movie. I'm not sad when they do, but I really never *want* them to. This movie is an exception. I just wanted Django to kill them all so badly and got the satisfaction.

Jaime Fox>Will Smith

Nice video bro

Best role I've ever seen from Leo. I know he won the Oscar for the Revenant, but this was the role he should have won for.

Damn you give a lot of interesting information I didn't know and I appreciate you. To be honest, I cared more about the cast of actors and their scenes than I did for the overall movie. That's only logic for me because I love QT's writing and everything he has in his films that no other movie maker will touch. The violence and blood and gore. You have to accept the fact that the overall movie plot is not realistic which is the case in most films but the great actors and their talent make you forget that on most films.

Love this movie! Very well put together!

Another thing was 2 nods to Dukes of Hazard: Tom Wopat was in the film and there was a reference to Chickasah County, the neighboring county to Hazard County.

I detested Waltz in Inglorious Basterds but absolutely love him as a good guy in DJango. Tells you something about how great of an actor Cristoph Waltz is.

Tyrese as Django: Ejecto Saddle Cuz.

Great video! I do have one correction though. Sunglasses have been around since the 12th century in China. They weren't made of glass, rather thin cut slabs of smoky quartz crystal.

Good video. Thanks.

U did a great job

Fun fact: Alexander Dumas father was Thomas Alexander Dumas a general in the French Army and fought along side Napoleon.

It takes a lot of nerve for Kurt Russell to walk off the set considering QT pretty much continues to revitalize his career.

That subplott with Scotty would have been awesome!

Django has a great hero’s journey. I love this movie.
